Vascular biomechanics – Computer simulations of clinical problems<br />

Interdisciplinary research in the field of biomechanics, with particular emphasize on simulation<br />

techniques to solve clinically relevant problems. Previous and current work includes:<br />

o In-vitro experimental investigation of soft biological tissues.<br />

o Reconstruction of vascular bodies from Computer Tomography Angiography (CT-A) images<br />

for Finite Element (FE) analysis.<br />

o Continuum mechanical modeling of the non-linear elastic, the visco-elastic and the elastoplastic<br />

properties of vascular tissue.<br />

o Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of blood flow through normal and diseased arteries.<br />

o Numerical description of non-linear failure mechanics by means of the discontinuous FE<br />

method and cohesive zone models.<br />

o Modeling growth of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms<br />

Requested additional know-how<br />

Imaging with emphasize on functional imaging of vascular tissues.<br />

Research project in the field of biomedical engineering<br />
